The ongoing family feud between Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale and his mother, Madam Evelyn, has taken a new turn as controversial media personality Afia Schwarzenegger adds her voice to the mix.
Afia Schwar, known for her outspoken nature and close friendship with Shatta Wale, has publicly criticized Shatta Wale’s mother for her recent actions.
The dispute became public when Madam Evelyn released an emotional video accusing her son of neglecting her for the past decade.
She claimed that her health had deteriorated significantly and that she was in urgent need of financial assistance, but had not heard from Shatta Wale in years.
The video quickly went viral, eliciting widespread sympathy and calls for Shatta Wale to support his mother.
Shatta Wale expressed his disappointment with his mother for bringing their family issues into the public eye in a sharp rebuttal.
He accused her of tarnishing his reputation both to his uncles and the world. The dancehall artist emphasized that family matters should be kept private and condemned his mother for her actions.
Afia Schwarzenegger has now joined the fray, defending Shatta Wale and condemning his mother’s public outcry.
In a video, Afia Schwar revealed that her first conversation with Shatta Wale’s mother was also filled with complaints about her son’s lack of support.
“Shatta Wale’s mother completely dissed her son to me the first time we talked on the phone,” Afia Schwar said.
“She told me that Shatta wasn’t taking care of her, and that completely turned me off.”
Afia Schwar’s comments have added fuel to the fire, with many debating the appropriateness of airing such personal grievances publicly.
She criticized Madam Evelyn for what she sees as publicly disgracing her son, who she believes has worked hard to earn his reputation.
